🍫 Pioneer Woman Mississippi Mud Cake Ingredients

For The Cake:

• Nonstick cooking spray, for the baking dish
• 2 sticks (1 cup) of salted butter
• 1/4 heaping cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 cup boiling water
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• One 10-ounce bag of mini marshmallows (about 6 cups)

For The Icing:

• 1 3/4 sticks (14 tablespoons) salted butter
• 6 tablespoons whole milk
• 1/4 heaping cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
• 4 cups sifted confectioners’ sugar
• 1 cup chopped toasted pecans
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

🎂 How To Make Pioneer Woman Mississippi Mud Cake

For The Cake:

1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Use cooking spray to coat a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish.
2. Melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the cocoa powder and whisk in the boiling water. As soon as it starts to bubble, turn it off and set it away.
3. Combine the salt, granulated sugar, and flour in a large bowl. Incorporate the flour mixture into the chocolate mixture and whisk several times to begin cooling the chocolate.
4. In another small bowl, combine the eggs, baking soda, buttermilk, and vanilla. Put the flour-chocolate mixture on top and stir until well blended.
5. Put into the prepared baking dish and bake for around 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Take it out of the oven and put it under the broiler.
6. Toss the marshmallows on top of the cake and place the dish back in the oven to broil for around 1 minute, or until the marshmallows begin to turn brown. Let sit and cool.

For The Icing:

1. Melt the butter in a saucepan and mix in the milk and chocolate powder until smooth.
2. Gradually add the confectioners’ sugar while whisking. Toss in the nuts and vanilla extract.
3. Spread the icing evenly over the marshmallows, leaving a few visible. Allow the icing to set, and then serve or deliver.

💭 Recipe Tips

• Ensure ingredients are at room temperature for even mixing.
• Don’t overmix the batter to keep the cake light.
• Watch marshmallows closely under the broiler to prevent burning.
• Allow the cake to cool before icing for optimal texture.
